AI Decision Tools

Free practical tools for selecting, piloting, scoring, and measuring AI software decisions.

Private by design: your entries and calculations stay in this browser unless you choose to copy or print them.

1. Selection worksheet

Clarify what to evaluate first

Choose the constraints that matter most. The worksheet turns them into a focused evaluation brief, not a product recommendation.

2. Pricing and ROI calculator

Estimate the economics before buying

Use conservative time-saved assumptions. This is a planning estimate—not a promise of savings or a financial forecast.

3. Pilot checklist

Set up a pilot that can answer a real question

Check each item before expanding a tool beyond a small, reversible trial.

What is ready?
4. Data-risk questionnaire

Identify the controls to check before use

This short screen highlights questions for your security, privacy, legal, and business owners. It is not legal, privacy, or security advice.

5. Vendor scorecard

Compare a vendor using your criteria

Score each area from 1 (weak) to 5 (strong). Adjust the weight when a criterion matters more to your organization.
